5160 and Redwood Hunter

[i4Marc]

I forged this blade out a while ago but finally got around to finishing it. It's a pretty basic hunter/skinner. Feels great in the hand and cuts very well. Thoughts welcomed.



Blade Steel: Aldo's 5160, finished to 800X
Blade Length: 5 & 7/8" to the guard, 5 & 1/4" edge
Guard: 416SS with black G10 and copper spacers
Handle: Stabilized Lace Redwood with copper pin
OAL: 10 & 5/8"
Sheath: Hand stitched leather with pig skin lining
